That's what happens when... Thu, Apr 17 2014 Conversations with a Cuer: Earl Fleetwood, Co-founder of... Aaron Cues Over the past year, I have engaged in an email conversation with Earl Fleetwood, who has been in the field of transliterating and interpreting since before I was born.

Aaron Cues In February of 2014, Dr. Khadijat Rashid, an economics professor at Gallaudet University, posted an open letter through friends on Facebook and the letter eventually made its rounds through the deaf and hard of hearing community.

Tue, Oct 22 2013 Facundo Element's Fondness for Friction Aaron Cues This will be my last and only response to a thread on Ryan Commerson's comments about Hands & Voices since I do not see the value in continuing to engage with representatives of Facundo Element (nor does many others who recognize the importance of collaboration rather than criticism). Cued Speech is a visual communication system that is based on the linguistic princi... Mon, Oct 21 2013 Self-Government and the Future of the National Cued Speech... Aaron Cues After watching some of President Obama's speech on self-government, I reflected on the state of the Cued Speech community in terms of self-governance and the organizations that promote the interests of Cued Speech.

Already my wife and I have been cueing to her, even though her vision currently isn't strong enough to distinguish between hand shapes. However, we know that we want to raise our child as a cueing family and we've committed to the idea that we will cue everything we sa... Fri, Oct 11 2013 Conversations with a Cuer: Marie Beck Janssen - A New Cue... Aaron Cues I first learned about Marie Beck Janssen after she posted a blog on her experience at Cue Camp Virginia.

I took the opportunity to contact Marie for an interview in order to get a perspective of someone who is new to Cued Speech, ... Mon, Oct 07 2013 The Cue Camp Experience Aaron Cues Yet another cue camp has come and gone with memories that will last a lifetime. Cue Camp Virginia (CCVA) took place this past weekend, and unfortunately it was a reminder of how many cue camps I have missed over the past five years since I started graduate school in St. Louis and moved to Colorado. In fact, if it wasn't for the cue camp experience, I wouldn't have tha... Tue, Oct 01 2013 Cuehood... a process of actualizing an identity as a cuer Aaron Cues Deafhood has received much attention in the Deaf/deaf and hard of hearing communities in regards to the process of coming to terms with the identity shaped by one's personal experiences with deafness.Now I can't say that I know a lot about what the Deafhood Foundation has brought to the table in regards to Deafhood. After all I've always been intrigued by the idea of ... Thu, Aug 15 2013 Conversations with a Cuer: Tiffany Matthews Aaron Cues After seeing all these stories from different walks of life about how people came to learn Cued Speech, I realized that the deaf and hard of hearing community would benefit from hearing these stories so I've established a new series called "Conversations with Cuers."

Mon, Aug 12 2013 A Reminder Aaron Cues I posted a statement to a Facebook group consisting primarily of parents with some professionals and individuals with hearing loss. After some reflection, I thought it would be prudent to share this with the entire community that I am part of as everyone has something they can relate to in this letter.

Aaron Cues While reviewing the research book Cued Speech and Cued Language for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children (CSCLDHH), I came across this quote by Carol LaSasso, a longtime researcher on reading outcomes at Gallaudet University, which seemed to sum up the views of many Cued Speech advocates, including my own.

Tue, Jun 03 2008 “Divisive Language” & “Benevolent Militants” Aaron Cues The word “militant” carries a negative connation for most people (except for those who think of themselves as militants).

Thu, Jan 17 2008 The Deaf Crusades: Sign Language versus Oral Education -... Aaron Cues It looks like Blue Eye’s first blog left a bitter taste in Paula Rosenthal’s mouth, bitter enough for her to respond in a blog of her own.

Fri, Jan 11 2008 Ref for the Deaf - A Potential Flaw in the concept? Aaron Cues Upon reading news announcing the concept of Ref for the Deaf, a bracelet-type signal system, I thought about how people would feel wearing those wrist-bracelets and whether it's heavy or light.

Tue, Jan 08 2008 “I’m deaf” – “I’m sorry.” Jeez, what are you sorry about? Aaron Cues Since the first year of college at North Carolina State, I’ve met people who would ask me where I’m from. Most of the time I would play the guessing game, asking those people “Where do you think I’m from?” I’ve heard some pretty wild guesses as to where my origin is, the wildest being Vietnam. Do I look like I’m from Vietnam? I don’t think so. After hearing their gu... Tue, Jan 08 2008 Why I won't teach my children ASL Aaron Cues Recently I found myself engaged in a tepid discussion with my girlfriend on how we would raise our children to communicate with us, whether they are deaf or hearing. We both agreed on one point. We would teach them how to cue so we would be able to communicate if neither of us had our CIs on or we found ourselves in noisy environments. After all we are both native dea... Sun, Jan 06 2008 Sound Out: The connections between speech intelligibility...

Fri, Dec 21 2007 Singling out the "deficit thinkers" - who decides? Aaron Cues John Egbert recently posted a call to action about deficit thinkers from DeafRead.Most people attributed his remarks as being a form of censorship.
